Thank you all for any input you might have!
j, I once got deck sealer all over the leg of a pair of peach-colored pants, then had to wear them until they dried. When I got home, I used a spray and wash stain stick on BOTH sides of the fabric, and worked it in really well with a toothbrush. I let it sit for at least an hour (overnight actually), then took some Wisk and worked that in with a toothbrush. Then I washed it in hot water, and every single bit came out. I am a firm believer in the stain stick and Wisk. As a nurse, I get lots of er, body fluids and stuff on my scrubs, and I've never found another detergent that works as well. Good luck!
